This is Jesus. Leave a message.
konstant: (Thoughtful)

"We are," he agrees, emphasis ever so slightly on the we.

He reaches, too, to set his fingers along the back of Jesus's hand on his face.

"Are you okay with everything that happened during the festival?" Which is a slightly different question than are you okay.
konstant: (Vegas 1)

"I love that you loved it."

Which is perhaps not a great answer. He turns it a slightly different way: "The fear is back. I could've been retired for being a replicant taking advantage of a human from a position of authority. I don't know how to get back to that place, but I like thinking about what happened."
konstant: (Vegas 9)

"Sweeting," K murmurs, turning his head, kissing his palm. "You're human."

Which doesn't mean anything to people from worlds where humans are the only creatures that have laws, that obey social structures in cities and systems.

"Any replicant caught out of line with any human has retirement to fear, if things go wrong, or just change."
konstant: (Down)

"I trust that if you change your mind, you won't take it out on me," he agrees.

"I trust that if you want me here, you'll tell me, and if you don't, you'll tell me. I trust you."

Enough to follow him into a contracting process that he doesn't trust at all.

It could be overwhelming if K let it, honestly. What he can read like Jesus is shouting at him in the moments before he's kissing him again, the intensity pressing through the lines of him as they lean together, and the staggering relief of realizing that Jesus understands exactly what K is saying - the magnitude if not the details - are all almost just a bit too much.

But he stands under it regardless, hands resting lightly at the other man's hips, and he sinks into that kiss too, taking his time to take some comfort in being seen.

"Thank you," he murmurs, staying close.
konstant: (Bloodied)

[personal profile] konstant 2022-12-15 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
"No." He'd stay anyway, because it's the kind of thing he's already lost patience for as far as he's concerned, but this answer happens to be true:

"I stayed with Sara all month. Just the one other night with you."

"Sex isn't even close to the reason I'd want to stay," he chuckles, smoothing hair back from Jesus's face - even if his smile quirks playful, too: "Although you're doing an excellent job of converting me."

He tips his head towards the couch anyway. "What can I do to help?"
konstant: (Conversation)

K starts to get back up in anticipation of needing to change water or put out food, but then he hears what Jesus wants him to do and he folds down to sit next to him, too.

"Nibbles," he calls, soft, with a gentle chuffing sound that brings the cat's ears up from a dead sleep. A few moments later he stretches to his feet and then comes trotting amicably over to investigate K's lap.

And K straightens out his sweater, smiling with simple, wordless pleasure as he rubs the cat's ears.

"He looks wa," is his final assessment. "Thank you for taking care of him. I had to leave Janus with Sara for now."
konstant: (Joi)

That was supposed to be warm

[personal profile] konstant 2022-12-15 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
K doesn't look up from Nibbles for more than a moment, letting him sniff his hand and decide to rub against it in his own time. This is when he starts working out how best to pull the sweater off as asked.

"Did I not show you him?" He does glance up now. "He's going to turn into a butterfly."
konstant: (Happy)

Just in time for notifs to come back!

[personal profile] konstant 2022-12-16 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
"He's in a cocoon now." K hesitates a moment, brow furrowing: "I don't actually know that Janus is a male, but the name could go both ways."

He shakes his head, smoothing down the fine, short hair that does actually cover Nibbles' skin to make sure it's not bothering him after the sweater. "I was told the cold might harm him, and that if I gave him a safe place to metamorphosize, he could be released when it's warm again. I have pictures."

K takes a moment to fold the sweater neatly and set it aside, also crooking his arm to give Nibbles a place to settle down, which he begins the process of immediately; it makes K smile even as he fishes out his phone and starts flipping through the gallery.

He's taken a lot of pictures. The vast majority of them are of plants and animals he's seen around Duplicity, with a whole series that he holds out to Jesus that shows a fuzzy, black and orange striped caterpillar working its way along a twig with autumn-colored grass and leaves in the background. He flips along until there's another series - over a dozen, from all different angles and lighting - of a pearlescent blue and teal chrysalis hanging from the same twig, but in a jar on a shelf now.

"I've never seen one before, not a real one. Amelia says he may not be the same colors when he comes out and probably won't, but she didn't know what kind he is."
konstant: (Flowers)

[personal profile] konstant 2022-12-16 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Sara promised to call me if the chrysalis starts to move - I'll call you too, if you want," K offers, then blinks up from where he was rubbing Nibbles' nose gently with his thumb when he realizes what Jesus has done.

"We just spent a lot of time together. You know. Before V -" His expression darkens for a moment, but then he shakes his head and holds his hand out for the phone back.
konstant: (Always Useful)

[personal profile] konstant 2022-12-16 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
It was what K was going to do, so the pleasant surprise of it does shake the moment off exactly as Jesus had intended. He switches over to the gallery once he has the phone back, looking over the resulting picture, his smile settling subtle but deep as he leans his shoulder into Jesus.

"I'm sorry this place is the way that it is, but - I'm glad I get to know you, Jesus."
